We stayed at a good caravan park about 300 metres from the springs (dog friendly), very relaxed atmosphere and feels like bush camping as you're looking into the forest with fan palms etc, wallabies and lots of birdlife and the Little Roper River at the far end (in unpowerered section).
The water is around 32 C and the pools are deep (well over my head), you can swim around 100 metres down a narrow channel — the hard part is coming back as there's a deceptively strong current.
There's a lovely palm lined walk around the Bitter Springs
Skye was pretty keen to get into Vanda's little camper. Biker (her dog) wasn't so keen.
We visited the Homestead Springs and Danni enjoyed a cool drink at the cafe there
